Dollar recoveries for the year amount to over USD 386 million; GBP, more than 1.1 million; Euro, about 157,000; Saudi Riyals about 1.7 million some more in Digital and other currencies,\u201d Buhari said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with our international partners, hundreds of millions of various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/08\/ghana-bans-spending-in-foreign-currencies-says-cedi-is-sole-legal-tende\/\">currencies<\/a> have been returned from abroad \u2013 primarily from the UK, US, and Switzerland \u2013 and used as social and welfare funds distributed directly to the poorest during the Covid pandemic and the provision of long-delayed infrastructure \u2014 roads, bridges, rail, and power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose partners refused to return these monies held for decades to previous Nigerian administrations in the certainty they would simply be re-stolen. They changed their approach with us because they knew my administration could be trusted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Responding to questions on food security, and inflation, which currently stands at 17 percent, Buhari said despite programmes to boost domestic production, Nigeria still does not grow enough.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said initiatives such as the Nigeria anchor borrower\u2019s programme has boosted rice production to 9 million metric tonnes in 2021 from around 5.4 million metric tonnes in 2015; adding that production outstripped pre-2015 levels, \u201ceven in the years of drought.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImports have fallen to near zero. We are making progress,\u201d Buhari said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgainst these advances, international trade remains rigged against food security in Africa. The EU\u2019s policies in particular are all rhetoric of open trade \u2013 yet their common agricultural policy subsidy programmes and export of those subsidized goods create dependence, undermine Africa\u2019s self-sufficiency, and cause food poverty and starvation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf only out of enlightened self-interest the West \u2013 and particularly Europe \u2013 must step up. The moral if not economic case for doing so is unarguable. Do nothing, and more migrants from across the Sahel will attempt dangerous journeys to reach Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On controlling the incessant borrowing of his administration, he argued that a narrow focus on debt misses the point.<\/p>\n<p>According to Buhari, what it fills is Nigeria\u2019s longstanding infrastructure deficit by constructing a foundation for sustainable growth \u2014 spreading opportunity to ensure no part of the country is left behind.<\/p>\n<p>Buhari, who described infrastructure developments under his leadership as \u201cmost ambitious since Nigeria\u2019s independence\u201d, said over 800 federal roads are being constructed or undergoing rehabilitation and 650km of rail line have been laid, helping alleviate food inflation pressures, given most food is produced in the north.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad the infrastructure gap not been filled, it will only grow, become more costly to repair what little we have while lacking more on infrastructure on which to build growth, negatively impacting progress towards UN Sustainable Development Goals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Further speaking on boosting tax collection, Buhari, whose tenure will end next year, said while Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa, translating that wealth into revenue generation is challenging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe raised VAT in 2020, and the IMF wanted us to raise it further, but this is a complex issue that cannot be addressed by tax hikes alone. Around 80 percent of Nigerians work in the so-called informal economy \u2013 a situation exacerbated by the pandemic. It is difficult to tax the informally employed, and no country has yet found an adequate solution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill, we are striving to find one, including the roll-out of a national ID card which has grown from 7 million in 2015 to between 90-100 million today \u2013 including a tax code and, at the same time, combined with access to various government services.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria&#8217;s President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that around $386 million was recovered in 2021 through the whistleblowing policy enacted by his administration in an attempt to repatriate looted funds back into the country and curb corruption.
